I thought we all knew what DUmp meant... LOL
Lololol. I would love it!!
yeah well if im on the jury it means what i think it means...lol...
the mysql command for backing up data is mysqldump
A dump is a snapshot of a program’s active data at the time it crashed. To dump Hillary’s emails means there must have been a major catastrophic screw up.
Hahahaha. Let me take a dump after that definition.
Excellent
The Clintons will hire twenty five balding Unix geeks to make their case...grab the popcorn.
Suddenly old straight white guys will be their best friends.
Protect Trump!
The Trump people have to be loving this even if Podesta really didn’t mean “dump” as “delete.” This word play of the Clinton campaign brings back the worst memories of the Bill Clinton Administration and ‘it depends on what the meaning of is is.’ Reminds everyone why we don’t want these scum balls anywhere near the White House again.
After Podesta used the word ‘dump’ they deleted 33,000 emails... He wasn’t talking about releasing them or saving them.. He was talking about destroying them and they did.
Hmm, I’m an IT professional and I’ve never heard “dump” used in the context of making a backup. The closest usage to that definition is in the context of a “memory dump”, in which data that is in RAM memory is written to a permanent file so that the contents can be examined later. Usually that is done when a program encounters a terminal error, so it is also sometimes called an “error dump”.
A dump is a dump!
You know what they meant, I know what they meant, but their uncanny people who know how to use ambiguous language.
This is a specialized use in an IT context — but even yet, it would go to some safekeeping, not to the public.
What in the world would they have wanted to “safekeep” the whole body of stuff for?
Something similar like “ignore” or “forget about” is the only thing that would make sense here.
The expression has different meanings depending on the context in which it is used.
“Computer backups used to be called ‘Dumps’.”
Being an old main frame guy, that’s what we used to call them.
